GDPR Consultancy Pricing: Fixed Fees, No Surprises
Indicative prices for the four things our data protection consultants deliver: a GDPR gap analysis priced by the size of your organisation, a DPIA managed service, a data subject rights requests managed service, and a fractional DPO. This is the one corner of the market where buyers actively search on cost and nobody publishes a figure, so we set our prices out up front. Everything is delivered in-house, and your engagement is confirmed at scoping.
Indicative pricing
Four ways to buy, priced up front
Where most projects start
GDPR Gap Analysis
Where you stand against the UK GDPR today, and the gaps that matter most
From £1,950
per project, indicative, ex VAT
- Micro or sole trader from £1,950; SME from £3,500; mid-market from £6,500
- Your processing mapped against the UK GDPR and the ICO's expectations
- The gaps that carry the most risk, separated from the ones that can wait
- A prioritised, costed remediation plan you can act on or hand back to us
- Delivered in-house by CyPro's data protection consultants, the same team throughout
DPIA managed service
Data protection impact assessments run as an ongoing service rather than one at a time
From £450
per month, indicative, ex VAT
- Your DPIAs written, reviewed and kept current as projects come and go
- Priced on the volume of assessments you need, confirmed at scoping
- Screening built in, so work that does not need a full DPIA does not get one
- Completed DPIAs you can show the ICO or a client on request
- Delivered in-house by CyPro's data protection consultants
Data subject rights requests managed service
Subject access and the other data subject rights handled for you, inside the statutory deadlines
From £1,250
per month, indicative, ex VAT
- Requests logged, scoped, searched, redacted and answered on your behalf
- Priced on the volume of requests you receive, confirmed at scoping
- Subject access plus erasure, rectification, portability and objection
- The one-month statutory deadline tracked, with extensions applied properly
- Delivered in-house by CyPro's data protection consultants
Fractional DPO
A named data protection specialist on call, for a fraction of a full-time hire
From £1,350
per month, indicative, ex VAT
- A named consultant acting as your data protection lead, on an agreed time commitment
- Advice on new processing, contracts, transfers and incidents as they come up
- Your records of processing, policies and training kept current rather than left to drift
- The ICO relationship handled, including breach reporting when it is needed
- Delivered in-house by CyPro's data protection consultants
Ad-hoc support
A consultant day rate for work that does not fit a fixed scope
Advice, review time and hands-on help, bought by the day
From £950
per consultant day, indicative, ex VAT
For questions, reviews and support that sit outside a defined project, you can bring in a data protection consultant by the day. Where the work has a clear shape, we would rather hold it to a fixed fee, which is what the prices above are for. How the process runs.
Where to start
Most organisations start with a gap analysis
It maps where you stand and sets up everything that follows
From £1,950
per project, indicative, ex VAT
A gap analysis is the natural first step: it shows where you stand against the UK GDPR and produces the costed plan that shapes any DPIA work, the remediation and how much ongoing support you actually need. How the process runs.
What sets the fee, stated plainly
The figures above are guide "from" starting points rather than firm quotes, and are confirmed for your organisation at scoping. For the gap analysis, two things set the fee: the size of your organisation, because a sole trader carries far less processing to assess than a mid-market business, and the complexity of your data, meaning how much personal data you hold, how many systems and third parties it moves through, and how sensitive it is. The DPIA and data subject rights services are priced on volume, agreed at scoping and reviewed as your volumes change. Fees exclude VAT. Everything is delivered in-house by CyPro's data protection consultants; you deal with one team throughout.
For comparison
Three ways to buy GDPR help, side by side
Pricing in this market stays behind a call from start to finish: the specialist boutiques and the larger advisory firms alike withhold the figure until you have spoken to them. Yet this is the one corner of the market where buyers actively search on cost, so published prices let you plan and compare before you speak to anyone. The table shows the differences.
| Quote-only GDPR boutique | Large advisory firm | GDPR work by CyPro | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Quoted only after a call, no figure published | Quoted after scoping, day-rate led | Indicative prices, published on this page |
| Engagement | Project or ongoing retainer, quoted case by case | Often an ongoing retainer | A fixed-scope project or a defined monthly service, your choice, delivered in-house |
| Who performs it | Their own consultants | A large team, GDPR one of many practices | CyPro's data protection consultants, in-house, the same team throughout |
| Scope certainty | Unknown until you are quoted | Unknown until you are quoted | Fixed fee against agreed scope, or a monthly fee against agreed volume |
| What you leave with | A report | A report | A prioritised, costed remediation plan the business can act on |
Asked about the fees
Pricing, explained further
Why publish fees when the rest of the market keeps them back?
Because a scoped piece of GDPR work carries a knowable cost, and holding the figure back tends to suit the seller more than the buyer. This is the one corner of the data protection market where organisations actively search on price, yet no competitor puts a figure in writing. Listing indicative prices is our answer to that, in keeping with the open pricing CyPro applies right across its specialist services. It lets you plan and compare before you speak to anyone, and your engagement is still confirmed at scoping.
Are these fixed fees?
Each figure is an indicative starting point rather than a firm quote. For the gap analysis, what sets the final figure is the size of your organisation and the complexity of your data: how much personal data you hold, how many systems and third parties it moves through, and how sensitive it is. For the managed services it is volume, meaning how many assessments or requests you actually get, agreed at scoping and reviewed as it changes. Where the scope is clear we hold the work to a fixed fee rather than an open day rate, which is the whole point of publishing them.
Who actually carries out the work?
CyPro's own data protection consultants, in-house, from the scoping call to the final report. The work is not subcontracted to a delivery partner, so you deal with one team throughout and the people who scope the project are the people who run it. The same consultants deliver the gap analyses, the DPIA and data subject rights services and the fractional DPO work.
Which one do we need?
A gap analysis shows where you stand against the UK GDPR and produces a costed plan, and it is where most organisations start. The DPIA managed service suits you if new projects keep raising assessments and nobody has time to write them. The data subject rights service suits you if requests arrive faster than your team can answer them inside the statutory month. A fractional DPO suits you if the questions are constant rather than project-shaped and you are not ready to hire. The scoping call confirms what you actually need.
Does the fee cover fixing the gaps you identify?
A gap analysis gives you an independent view and a prioritised, costed remediation plan; acting on it can sit with your team, or you can bring us in to do the remediation. Where you want the remediation and a re-check folded into one piece of work, we scope that from the gap analysis findings. The consultant day rate covers ad-hoc support that does not fit a defined project. None of the fixed fees above conceals a standing retainer, and the managed services are month by month against an agreed scope.
